(U.S. - Thematic) The Pictorial Map United States Stamps designed, drawn and published..., Ernest Dudley Chase, 1947
It's a world of culture and history that are lost to so many today, but stamps were a function of communication and shipping that were a point of expression and pride. Stamps could celebrate the "Hardships of emigration", natural points of interest, great architecture, or Native Americans on a Buffalo hunt, or even famous authors. But inevitably, they document a vanishing world view for generations before us.
A classic thematic pictorial map by Chase that looks at the stamp history of the US. Shows specific post offices and buildings, as well as stamps pertaining to each state, as well as historical figures.
Condition is very good, and is SIGNED BY CHASE IN THE LOWER LEFT. Image size is approximately 20.5 x 35.5 (inches)
